Council sourceTPO 3/09 Lime tree T7 (furthest West on the property). Fell T7 becausehalf way up the stem there is 50% loss of the cambian layer. This damaged tree comes into leaf much later than adjacent lime trees. Recommendation to fell provided by tree surgeon from Big Heart Tree Company. Propose to plant a Silver Birch tree in the front garden as replacement - the rear garden is already severely congested with very tall trees and the front garden location will match other plantings inthe close.
